Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm excited to relaunch ShellMate today.
Like many developers, I spend hours inside SSH sessions every day. Existing clients either felt outdated, overloaded with enterprise features, or required subscriptions just to manage a few servers comfortably.
I started building ShellMate to create the SSH client I wanted to use myself, fast, modern, and focused on developer productivity.
Since the first release, I've added a lot based on community feedback:
• Native apps for Windows, macOS, and Linux
• Unlimited SSH connections
• Split terminals and tab management
• Built-in SFTP file manager
• Snippets and reusable commands
• Team collaboration features
• AI assistance for troubleshooting and command generation
• Better performance and a cleaner UI
One thing that's important to me is pricing. Individual developers can use ShellMate forever for free (without AI features), while teams only pay if they need collaboration or AI capabilities.
This is still just the beginning. I'm actively working on Docker management, database tools, log viewing, service management, and more features to make ShellMate a complete server workspace.
I'd genuinely love your feedback—good or bad. Every suggestion helps shape what comes next.
Thanks for checking out ShellMate! ❤️
